France Condemns Netanyahu's 'Conquer & Hold' Gaza Plan, Calls It Against International Law | Details
French Minister Jean-Noël Barrot labelled Israel's "conquer and hold" plan a violation of humanitarian law during a radio interview, asserting it would lead to mass displacement of Palestinians. The Israeli cabinet unanimously approved the controversial strategy, which includes stationing troops in captured Gaza territories and mobilizing tens of thousands of reservists. France's condemnation comes as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, and Israeli opposition voices accuse the government of endangering lives for political survival. #france #israel #gaza #gazastrip #netanyahu #idf #macron #hamas

'Delete Your Nudes': What Travellers Must Know Before Visiting The US
International travelers to the US are being cautioned to cleanse their digital devices of sensitive content, including personal photos, as border agents ramp up electronic searches under President Trump's renewed 'enhanced vetting' policies, according to The Metro. These measures, reinstated through executive orders, permit Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers to inspect smartphones, laptops, and social media accounts without a warrant. As per the news report, although such searches affect only a small fraction of travellers, they have led to detentions and deportations based on digital content, including political views and personal images. Experts advise travellers to minimise stored data, use encrypted cloud services, and disable biometric logins to protect privacy. According to The Metro report, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials have the legal authority to search electronic devices at the border: that's phones, laptops, and tablets. This includes reviewing text messages, social media activity, photos, emails, and even your browser history. In March, an unnamed French scientist was denied entry to the States after airport immigration officers searched his phone and found messages critical of the Trump administration. According to The Guardian, recently Amir Makled, a Lebanese-American lawyer representing one of the University of Michigan pro-Palestine campus protesters, was recently stopped at Detroit Metro Airport and interrogated by a tactical terrorism response team agent. Makled has said the agents knew exactly who he was; his phone was searched, and they asked about his contacts. Eventually, he was allowed to go home. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has imposed a ban on citizens from 12 countries, along with entry restrictions on nationals from seven other nations, citing national security and immigration enforcement concerns. The US President signed the executive order on June 4, nearly five months after taking office for the second term, and it will come into effect on June 9. The travel ban has been divided into two categories: a complete ban and a partial ban. Trump has imposed a full entry ban on 12 countries: Afghanistan, Myanmar, the Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Eritrea, and Somalia. The complete travel ban means the citizens of the aforementioned countries cannot enter the US at all, irrespective of the reason and purpose. He said that these countries don't respect US immigration rules. Most countries on the list denied taking their citizens back, and most of the people from here overstayed their visas, he said. Partial restrictions apply to seven countries: Burundi, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, Cuba, and Venezuela.

'Not Just An Indian Problem': Rajnath Singh's Five-Point Plan For The World To Fight Terrorism
Last Updated: In an article, the defence minister said terrorism 'thrives on misguided notions of revolution, martyrdom & a romanticised view of violence" Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday outlined the Narendra Modi government's new position of zero tolerance against terrorism, calling out Pakistan for targeting India and suggesting five ways the global community can fight against terror. In an article in Times of India, Singh, while calling terrorism 'a scourge on humanity" said it 'thrives on misguided notions of revolution, martyrdom, and a romanticised view of violence". 'The assertion that 'one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter' is a dangerous misnomer—true freedom can never be built on fear and bloodshed. The currency of terrorism is fear. Yet, even in spreading fear, they have failed to instil any sense of pessimism." Lauding India's resolute will to stand up against repeated terrorist attacks, Singh said: 'India is testimony to this fact. Whether it's 26/11 or the 2001 Parliament attack or the recent Pahalgam attack, India stands taller, stronger, and more resolute than ever. All peace- loving nations need to come together to eradicate this menace once and for all." The minister, while training guns on Pakistan, said for decades, India has been a victim of state-sponsored cross-border terrorism originating from the neighbour's soil. 'The recent Pahalgam attack was a brutal and failed attempt to fracture Indian unity. This was evident in the manner in which terrorists inquired about the religion of tourists before killing them. A similar attempt to threaten Indian unity emerged when Pakistan utilised drones and artillery to attack various religious sites belonging to different faiths." Singh added that 'India has made it clear that we have a zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism". 'Talks and terrorism cannot go hand-in-hand. Any future dialogue with Pakistan will focus solely on terrorism and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Also, if Pakistan is serious, it must hand over UN-designated terrorists like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar." The minister also made a mention of Operation Sindoor—wherein Indian forces pounded terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir—saying: 'For a long time, we have reacted to terrorist acts while searching for a long-term vision and strategy. Our armed forces were earlier only allowed to engage in defensive action. With surgical strikes (2016), Balakot strikes (2019), and now Operation Sindoor, India has made a fundamental reappraisal of its policy towards Pakistan-sponsored terrorists." He added: 'It's now our policy that we will proactively eradicate terrorists wherever they are. Any act of terror is now considered an act of war. If there's a terrorist attack on India, a befitting reply will be given without differentiating between the government sponsoring terrorism and terrorists themselves. If Pakistan is unable to rein in terrorists operating from its soil, it will have to pay the price."
